1. White Elephant Gift Exchange
This is a classic Christmas game that never gets old. Each guest brings an inexpensive wrapped gift, and everyone draws a number to determine the order of gift selection. The first person chooses a gift and unwraps it, and the following person can either steal an already opened gift or choose a new one. The game continues until all the gifts are unwrapped.
2. Christmas Movie Trivia
Divide your guests into teams and create a Christmas movie trivia quiz. You can include questions about classic Christmas movies like “It’s a Wonderful Life” or modern favorites like “Elf.” The team with the most correct answers wins.
3. Name That Christmas Tune
Play a few seconds of a Christmas song, and the guests have to guess the name of the song. You can make it more challenging by playing only the instrumental version or by playing the song backward. The guest with the most correct answers wins.
4. Christmas Charades
Write down Christmas-related words on pieces of paper, and each guest takes turns acting out the word without speaking. The other guests must guess the word. The guest with the most correct guesses wins.
